Can someone help me with this problem?

Question

You need to move a 25-pound box onto a platform that is 3 feet off the ground.What kind of ramp would you use?Explain.

Answer 1

A simple incline would do. Imagine placing a 2x6 plank 8 feet long, one end on the ground, the other end on the platform, and you push the 25 pound box up this plank until it reaches the platform. Of course, one has to wonder why the person couldn't just pick up the box and put it down on the platform.
